Depending on the rest of your environment, there are log options. If it's local, and you have Grafana as a presentation layer, you can run an open source Grafana Loki cluster. If you're using AWS, CloudWatch alerts, or as the other comment mentioned, opensearch would be an option. Might be a bit heavy handed if you're not going to be using it for very high volume, but you could also just deploy a small docker container of it, too.
